Steemit Engagement Challenge S3-W4:Childhood or adulthood, which do you prefer? by @jimah1k
Hello everyone, It’s another day to give thanks to Allah for blessing us with yet another week. And as usual season three of steemit’s engagement challenge continues. I’m actually very excited about this weeks theme which is ‘Childhood or adulthood, which do you prefer’. Without wasting further time let’s go straight ahead.
Who is considered as a child in your country?
The answer to this question may vary from country to country or from a different ethnic group to the other. In my country, a person is considered to be a child when he or she is still below puberty or hasn’t fully completed puberty. When I say below puberty, it means that certain parts of the body haven’t developed or fully developed. These parts include broadening of the chest in males, deep voice, growth of pubic hair in the armpits and private parts and so on.
Now in females, development of breast, enlargement of hips and so on. When these features are not seen or have not fully developed, in my country we refer to that person as a child. The age range for children can range from 0 to 17 it is assumed that at the age 18 you are no longer a child because all these features would have developed by then.
Who is considered as an adult in your country?
This is the exact opposite of everything I said in my explanation of who a child is, in my country Ghana to be precise an adult is someone who has fully completed the puberty age (0 to 17) characteristics of adult’s are in males fully developed chest, growth of pubic hair, deep voice, beard and many more.

Whiles in females, mensuration starts, broadened hips and fully developed breast. At this stage one is no longer considered a child. The males are now capable of fertilizing an ovary whiles the females are able to produce eggs. The age range for an adult could range from 18 and above
Childhood or Adulthood, which do you prefer?
Looking at the two, I prefer childhood to adulthood I will tell you why. As a child, you are being catered for this means that everything you need is provided for you by your parents you don’t have to work for it. All you have to do is ask and that’s all.
Unlike being an adult, you would have to work to provide for your self and also help in taking care of the family in one way or the other. This can be providing financial assistance when the need a raises. As a child you are free from all these things and it’s the other way round.
The second reason why I prefer childhood to adulthood is at the childhood stage, you have a lot to learn. According to research, the brain is usually sharp at that age so they Learn easily and quicker than adults.
When you have the best parenting at that stage, you will grow up to be a responsible man or woman. Likewise if you don’t get the best parenting, you might turn out to be irresponsible. So at this stage of life a lot is at stake.
Last but not the least, As a child when your body hasn’t started puberty or started showing changes, you don’t think about how attracted you are to the opposite sex. There is no way insecurity, you can even come out to bath without any fear or worry.
But for adulthood, once these features start showing, you start thinking of how attracted you are to opposite sex, shyness also steps in and a whole lot of things start going through your head. But as a kid you don’t think about anything because everything will be provided for you.
Conclusion
I want to thank @steemkids for this wonderful theme. There are a lot of things I believe if I had learned in my childhood, my life would have been better. So if I was given the chance to go back change it all I would do it within a blinking of an eye. I would like to invite @arahman, @rubilu123 and @chenty to partake in this contest thank you.

Depending of the girl, the woman's body gets development faster or lower but generally we can consider she's an adult once she have surpassed the age of 18 more or less as you're telling at the post. Good luck with this entry.
Good luck to you too. Yeah it’s true that girls develop faster than the males. Thanks for stopping by.

Verily! One cannot neglect the joy in childhood. I very well remember when my father was having his evening meals, I went to sit close to him and he gave me all his meat😄. What is more than this. Nothing at all is sweater. Thank you for your time sharing. I wish you well

Indeed childhood is very sweet. Sometimes when they go out and they are coming back you just know that they will buy sweets for you😊. Thanks for stopping by.
You are welcome
I had not thought that when we are children we are not attracted to the opposite dry ha ha, it's true, that's also good to be children. The time of childhood is beautiful, we play, we learn without worrying about anything.
Greetings and success with your participation.
First of all, thank you for inviting me to this contest. I think it is an interesting topic to discuss and we could talk about it all day long. Personally I prefer childhood to adulthood and my reasons is that, there isn’t much on your mind to think about. Also the responsibilities and duties expected to perform as a child are way less than that of adulthood.
Also, we should remember that most of us dreamt about growing into adulthood and how we imagined the kind of freedom it comes with. The funny thing is that, now that we are adults we wished we could go back to our childhood days.
